Core Tip
Core Tip: The long-term outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in undifferentiated (UD) type early gastric cancer (EGC) over 2 cm confined to the mucosa are not well known. In our study, R0 resection is achieved by ESD in these patients also showed good long-term clinical outcomes similar to lesions if less than 2 cm. With R0 resection strategy, 20.4% of patients were able to avoid surgery compared with expanded indication. Further prospective randomized studies are recommended to determine which UD type EGCs over 2 cm are suitable for endoscopic treatment.
